Nevermore Scorch S
850ml (630-690g) of the next generation filtration medium from Nevermore.
Handling and Safety
While Nevermore Scorch is not inherently harmful or toxic (its safe to touch by hand), it is advisable to handle with care. Avoid contact with eyes or airways, as KMnO4 will react with mucous membranes. The safety of our users is a priority, and while risks are low, they should not be overlooked. Plastic gloves will protect from accidental Scorch residue being on your fingers when later scratching your eyes, a face/dust mask will protect from inhaling KMnO4 dust when pouring or refilling filters, and protective glasses from accidentally getting Scorch in your eyes (it hurts!).
Environmental Considerations
The product, when saturated with VOCs, can be disposed of in regular waste systems. However, care should be taken to ensure unspent KMnO4 does not leach into nature – if Scorch is still bright purple, reactive KMnO4 can leech into ground water where it should not be! If your use of the product ends, unspent Scorch needs to be taken care of by waste management authorities based on your local waste disposal regulations.

I bought a bag of this to mix with the Nevermore Activated Charcoal in my Nevermore v6 on a 300mm Voron 2.4.
Using just activated carbon in the Nevermore wasn’t cutting it when printing ABS (PolyMaker ABS+ to be exact). It was stinky to print and the smell lingered in the build chamber for days afterwards. I saw this and decided to give it a go. I mixed 50/50 carbon and scorch into the filter chamber, fired up some ABS and went a’ printing.
This stuff is like magic. During printing there is still a very faint odour, but only if you basically stick your nose in the chamber. And if you run the filter post-print as recommended there is no lingering smell at all.
Highly recommend this if you print with ABS.
